It is possible that this is a sign of impending catastrophic failure but not a guarantee. First, check to see if your vehicle is leaking any fluid and if so, verify the type of fluid. If you find a leak...
Hello - the sound you hear is most likely the electric cooling fans coming on while the vehicle is stopped. The lack of airflow across the radiator while stopped or moving slowly causes engine temperature to rise, triggering the cooling...
Due to the fact this condition is caused by both outside weather and engine temperature I am inclined to look at the vehicle speed sensor side of the circuit as interior cabin temperature is less effected especially by engine temperature....
Hi There, It sounds like you may have a couple of separate issues going on here. The idling problem may suggest you have a dirty or faulty idle air control valve. The idle air control valve monitors the air...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The fuel filter is located on the driver's (left) side of the vehicle. It will be inline, so finding a fuel line and tracing it should help you locate the cylindrical filter. It will...
There should not be ANY leaks or seepage. One obvious thing to check is the drain plug/gasket (if equipped). It is also possible that fluid is leaking past the transmission oil pan gasket if the pan was removed and a...
Only if you leave it on there. You can paint it and if it gets on the caliper, all you've got to do is turn the caliper, get some brake spray cleaner, spray it on, and wipe it off. Paint...
Hello. If they replaced your piston rings and the problem has persisted, then it is likely that the problem was not related to the piston rings. Most fuel issues are related to engine performance or fuel system problems. A tune...
The high pitch noise you are hearing is the fuel pump in the fuel tank getting noisey and will fail if the pump is not changed in the near future. The fuel filter and fuel pump along with the fuel...
The check engine light could mean diagnostic codes related to the transmission failure are available. If you request a check engine light diagnostic a mechanic could see if relevant codes have set and narrow the diagnostic for you. Check to...
Hi there. The issue could be with the output shaft speed sensor on the tail shaft of the transfer case. The output shaft speed sensor is a sensor the registers the speed of the output shaft and lets the computer...
Hello. If the first engine mounts that you had replaced a year ago were the original engine mounts, they could have failed as a result of age and wear. Sometimes, aftermarket engine mounts are defective before they are installed, so...
Hi there. Since your truck is brand new, I would recommend contacting the Chevrolet dealership where it was purchased. This type of warning light typically indicates a glitch in the ECU that can only be reset by the dealership since...
Slow acceleration has a variety of causes. Fuel injectors can become clogged over time as the tiny passages become clogged. When an injector is clogged it can degrade the performance of the vehicle and the car may accelerate slowly or...
The throttle body should be inspected for binding and dirt but there are quite a few other reasons why the code ended up returning, namely: the throttle position sensor harness is open or shorted; the throttle position sensor circuit has...
The P0171 trouble code relates to a "lean condition" and applies generally to many makes and models of cars. This simply means the air/fuel mixture is lean meaning that there is too much oxygen present in relation to the amount...
Hi there. There could be an issue with the EVAP canister purge solenoid. The solenoid causes excessive pressure in the fuel tank and can cause the engine to stall out. If the EVAP canister purge solenoid is working properly, then...
Hi there. The dealer can say anything about the vehicle for other vehicles have had this issue, however, this is also a symptom of the transmission clutch grabbing hard when floating in between a gear selection range. Hyundai, Toyota, and...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The misfire is likely the cause of the vibrations you are feeling. When just one cylinder is having a misfire, you may have a bad spark plug, a weak spark due to a failing...
If engine speed increases steadily in response to accelerator inputs, then this is probably a transmission related fault. To give you a precise slate of possibilities though I would need to know exactly which gears (which "shift points") are "missing"...
I will explain each code in turn. To resolve all codes, the recommended service to request is a check engine light diagnostic. If you request that service, the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of for you. ...
When you say open, do you mean the door cannot physically open or is the lock not working? If the door physically cannot open, the linkage between the release inside the door and the handles may have come loose or...
Unfortunately, no, you cannot turn off access but the dealer may be able to reprogram a new one and change the code for you. Until then, you need to secure your car with a steering wheel lock or disconnect the...
If you can run your engine, with the fuel injectors on the right bank disconnected, it is not your PCM (ECM). By disconnecting the injectors, the computer cannot put fuel in without opening the injectors. You need to check the...
